I am so excited to be doing this prayer challenge. If you ever wonder how I prepare for these prayer challenges, let me share with you. I pray about what God wants me to be intentional in prayer about, and then when He reveals something. I research it and consider how to best go to Him in prayer. Then once I get an idea, I actually do a Bible Study/Prayer Time with my children each day. I take the thoughts and ideas from that time with my children and turn it into a blog post, and prayer.
Then once I get them written, I invite the Facebook group to pray through them intentionally day by day. So, I actually pray each prayer twice, once when I write them, and once when I go through them with the group. It has been a huge blessing to me to see Yehovah God work in my life and answer so many prayers.
Today, my children and I read Galatians chapter 2, and 1 Corinthians 13. I hope you will take time to read and ponder both these chapters too. They actually go together so well.
We then took time to pray for God to fill us with His LOVE. We discussed how we can’t have love if we don’t have God. I find it fascinating that love actually encompasses all the other pieces of the fruit.
Love is Joy Philippians 2:2
Love is Peace Colossians 3:14-15
Love is Patient 1 Corinthians 13:4
Love is Kind 1 Corinthians 13:4
Love is Good Luke 6:27-36
Love is Faithful 1 Corinthians 13:7
Love is Gentle 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Love is Self-control 2 Timothy 1:7
Prayer:
Yehovah God,
We praise You that You are Love(1 John 4:16), and Your Love endures forever (Psalms 136), and that nothing can separate us, Your children, from Your love (Romans 8:39). We ask that You strengthen us with Your love, so that we might spread it to all. Help us love our family, friends, enemies, and strangers.
